So Much Polish, so little time

Recently I have been giving my nails a break from all the nail polish and the harsh acetone in the removers so I thought I would share a collage of nail polish with you. The collage includes many different brands and in case you're curious I link the site so you can check them out.

Review: Zoya Dove

♥ Consistency: The consistency was a little more watery than I would have liked, but overall it's not too bad.
♥ Application: This category is why I give the overall grade a B. I found that the first coat was pretty sheer and therefore I had to put on a second coat. However, even after the second coat I still could see my nail through the polish. I also found that the application process was uneven, some spots were not as covered as other parts of the nail.
♥ Color: The color was the same but a different shade. I have noticed that in my Zoya nail polishes, they are all a couple shades darker than they appear in the bottle.
♥ Longevity: This nail polish stayed on pretty long. Again there was inevitable wearing at the tips of the nail.
♥ How Many Coats: three or four. My nails probably had four coats on them.
♥ Top Coat/Base Coat: Sally Hansen Mega Shine Top Coat
♥ 7-Day Wear:   

(NOTW) Nail Of The Week: Zoya - Gemma & Julep Maria

This week I decided upon Gemma by Zoya and Maria by Julep on the ring finger. I'm not sure about them together, so tell me in the comments if it looks good or odd. By the way, in real life Maria looks a bit more purple than it does in the pictures.

Review: OPI Russian Navy

♥ Consistency: I liked the consistency a lot. It was creamy and wasn't too thick or watery.
♥ Application: The application was a breeze. It glided on the nail very easily. When applying the first coat the nail could be seen, but as soon as the second coat was applied the entire nail was completely opaque.
♥ Color: When I bought this nail polish, I thought it would be a deep eggplant purple on the nails. However, it was actually a dark blue with pink and turquoise reflects. It is not bad though, I really like the color (especially because blue is my favorite color).
♥ Longevity: I found that is wears pretty well through the week. There was no major chipping, just wearing off at the tips of the nail.
♥ How Many Coats: I would suggest two coats, but if it is still slightly sheer, three coats should do the trick
♥ Top Coat/Base Coat: Sally Hansen Mega Shine Top Coat
♥ 7-Day Wear:
